In spite Of its enormous length II
only possesses the seven verte bra
which are common to nearly all the
mammals. In consequence it is near.
lyas inflexible ae q wooden bar OF equal
length, SO that the many pretty pct
ures which Represent giraffes curving
their necks gracefully, after the man.
ner of swans, are ludicrously wrong.
"But," said the DIRECTORS, IF it is SO
long and inflexiuls neck it could not
craze, and being ruminant animal,
would die OF huRger." 1t is quite true
that it cannot Craze. 1t can only lower
its head near the ground by spreading
it's forelegs as widely as possible and
drawing its hind legs under them,
thus presenting most ludicrous as
pect. In its native state it never, as
far as know, even attempts to lower
its head to the ground, but in captivity
it can be induced to do SO by laying ON
the ground large lump of sugar, of
which it is Unfortunately fond. The
fact is, that it is intended to Craze, not
on the ground, but on the leaves OF
trees. The acacia, or mimosa, is its
favorite tree, and the Dutch colonists
have in consequence called the acacia
by the name Of "kameeldorn"-i. e.,
camel thorn, they invariably giving
the name of Camel to the giraffe.
This mode of feeding involves another
anomalous structure. This is the
tongue, on which the giraffe is almost
as much dependent as is the elephant
on its proboscis. 1t is possessed of
wonderful powers Of extension and
contraction, and can be narrowed I'M
til it almost resembles the correspond
ing member of the ant-eater. The
peculiar powers of the tongue can
well be seen when the animal takes
the sugar from the ground. 1t does
not attempt to seize the sugar with its
lips, but protrudes its tongue to the
fullest extent, twists the narrowed tip
around the sugar and SO draws the
coveted dainty into its mouth. When
it feeds on the trees, it picks off Leaf
after leaf quite daintily selecting those
which are most to its taste.-(Good
